Current install is LinuxMCE 8.10 beta 2 SVN 22969, UI2-3. HW; Mobo: Gigabyte E7AUM-DS2H, Core2 Duo E8400 (see sign for more HW info).
When using the desktop enviroment, I have been using the task window named "OrbiterGL" and this will take me back to LinuxMCE. But after working a while in the desktop, the orbiterGL becomes unresponsive. Now I only see the flickr picture shifting after selecting "PlutoGalleryViewer". Seems like the LinuxMCE menu system is whent to sleep.... ???
Now I have to do a forced restart, to get it working again :P

Tried the same thing, only in UI1. Then all is ok! No lock up...
Should I select GForce/TNT graphic card in the LinuxMCE Admin? Or should I leave it at default?

We need to add back an Activate Orbiter applet.

Any key combination that will let me do that?

No. but you can send a message to the media director device (for the core/hybrid, this is 1):
/usr/pluto/bin/MessageSend localhost 0 X 1 912 119 "0"
replace X with the PK_Device # of the Media director.

You can also go into the webadmin, and do quick reload router if you are scared of code, just like me.

The easiest solution is to setup a link on your desktop to point to
/usr/pluto/bin/ActivateOrbiterFromKDE.sh

Now I feel dumb agian :-[ :) Can I send message to the media director device, is this possible from the KDE desktop enviroment?
So if I have an Core/hybrid the message would look like this:
/usr/pluto/bin/MessageSend localhost 0 1 1 912 119 "0"
But how can I send this message, from the teriminal, if so witch command?
Thanks Thom for your answer. Sorry for my silver spoon needs ;)

Open a terminal (such as Konsole on the KDE desktop) and just run the command above from there. The X should be replaced with the Device Number of the onscreen orbiter you want to activate, you can look it up in the web-admin's devices tree. And if you replace localhost with dcerouter it should work from any Media Director, not just the Core.

Thanks Zaerc, for clarifying...
I am going to build a proper solution to this tomorrow.
